The eldest son is fierce

Princess House.

Princess Xiao Lan rested for a night under the care of the imperial physician, and her complexion had recovered a lot.

She was squatting on the swing, holding a bunch of grapes in her hand, and putting them into her red lips one by one.

And the person sitting in front of her was Kong Shilan.

"So, the top scorer in this palace examination is Tang Hua?"

Xiao Lan looked at the gloomy Kong Shilan and said, "Sister Lan, didn't you say this was within your expectations? Why are you so gloomy even though you expected it?"

Kong Shilan put down her teacup and said, "I expected Tang Hua to win the top prize, but I didn't expect...his poetry to be so good."

"This poem of persuasion is comparable to "Man Jiang Hong" and "Poetry of Breaking the Formation."

"If Tang Hua could write this kind of poetry at the Shen Garden Poetry Gathering, no one in the whole audience would be his match."

"Unless we can find that little poet... But he's so elusive that he's hard to find. Now the whole of Kyoto is filled with legends about him, but no one knows who he is."

Xiao Lan frowned and said, "My father won't tell me who the Immortal Poet belongs to. That old man is very bad."

"However, we can go ask Liang Shao. Let's knock him out and bring him back for questioning."

Xiao Lan was in high spirits, her beautiful eyes sparkling. "Didn't he say that the Immortal Poet was his brother? Last night, he used a few of his poems at the brothel and stole the show."

Kong Shilan was startled and said, "You'd better stop making trouble."

Last night you lost your heartbeat and pulse due to intense exercise, which almost scared me to death.

If it weren’t for Tang Yi, it’s hard to say whether you could still sit here and eat grapes.

If you run out and cause trouble again, and something happens, I'm afraid everyone in the princess's mansion will be buried with you.

"It's no use. I asked my brother to ask."

Kong Shilan shook her head and said, "They are all in the Jinyiwei prison now. After Tang Yi was arrested last night, they were also arrested."

Obviously, Emperor Yanwen wanted to deliberately hide the identity of the Little Poet.

Tang Yi, Liang Shao and others who might know the identity of the Little Poet were all sent to prison.

Moreover, she relayed to her grandfather word for word what Emperor Yanwen said last night.

But after listening to him, his grandfather pondered for a long time and just asked him if he would regret it.

She didn't know the riddle between her grandfather and Emperor Yanwen, so she naturally just said what she thought... She didn't regret it!

But even if she regretted it, what should she regret?

"Sister Lan, I think Tang Hua might be the Little Poet Immortal!"

Xiao Lan held his chin with both hands and said, "Haven't you noticed? Whether it's 'Man Jiang Hong', 'Poetry of Breaking the Formation', or the 'Poem of Admonition' for today's palace examination, they all have a very distinct characteristic."

"That's because they're all written in an old-fashioned way."

Kong Shilan also had her doubts, but she shook her head and said, "It can't be the same person. Both "Man Jiang Hong" and "Po Zhen Zi" were written from the perspective of military commanders."

"Because of these two poems, the civil officials lost a lot of face."

"Tang Dynasty paintings are self-righteous and could not possibly be associated with military commanders."

After hearing what Kong Shilan said, Xiao Lan suddenly became even more annoyed.

"It's neither this nor that. Father is really good at hiding things!"

She jumped off the swing, took Kong Shilan's arm and said, "In that case, let's go to the Tang family banquet today to join in the fun and find out the truth about Tang Hua."

"Let's find this guy's weakness first. Even if we don't have the Little Poet, we'll still have a way to deal with him when the time comes."

Kong Shilan pondered for a moment and nodded: "This is the only way for now, but you have to listen to me. No jumping or making noise."

……

East Palace.

Crown Prince Xiao Cong was painting in his study. The painting showed a girl with an enchanting figure.

But no face painting.

"Your Highness, the Tang family is hosting a banquet at Tianxiang Tower today to celebrate Tang Hua's success as the top scorer in the imperial examination. The Empress Dowager said Your Highness could go."

"Firstly, it can bring together the ministers. Secondly, it can bring a group of young talents like Tang Hua under the command of the Eastern Palace to serve Your Highness."

Beside him, the eunuch Hong Zhu said respectfully.

The prince didn't even raise his head, still lightly outlining the painting.

After dyeing the entire skirt of the woman in the painting red and admiring it carefully for a while, a smile appeared on his face: "Where's Tang Yi? Has Auntie checked? What did she say?"

"My father said that this person could threaten my position as the Eastern Palace. What was the result of my aunt's investigation?"

Hong Zhu laughed and said, "The eldest princess said that Tang Yi was nothing but a waste. I guess it was the virtuous concubine who nagged His Majesty, so he asked His Highness to take him under his command."

"He does have some background, but to say he can shake His Highness's position is pure nonsense."

"Oh?" The prince narrowed his eyes.

After a moment's silence, he sneered, his smile filled with deep dissatisfaction: "Father, do you really think I'm a garbage dump? You dump all kinds of garbage here."

"Since Yu Gu is useless, let him continue to stay in his garbage dump!"

"As for the Tang family, with a minister and a newly crowned top scholar, they are indeed worth winning over."

The prince put down his red brush, picked up the scroll on the table, looked at it for a while, and said, "Prepare the car, let's go to Tianxiang Tower."

"Since the Tang family is hosting a banquet, I'll give this honor... to Tang Hua!"

The eunuch in charge of reading the book bowed and turned to prepare.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the prince's carriage left the East Palace under the escort of the prince's guards.

……

Tianxiang Tower.

At this time, the entire Tianxiang Tower was filled with the sound of gongs and drums, and it was extremely lively.

The Tang family was about to be granted a marriage by the emperor, and now they had a top scholar. With the support of the prime minister and his party, they would surely achieve great things in the future. Many big families in Kyoto gave them face and naturally brought their families to attend the Tang family's celebration banquet.

"Minister Tang, congratulations! You've raised such a good son! How enviable!"

"Minister Tang, your son is so handsome and virile, he is definitely a rare talent. Congratulations."

"Minister Tang, your son has really made us proud this time. Otherwise, we would still be oppressed by that unkind bird poet."

"..."

Tang Jing, along with Tang Hua and Tang Hao, personally stood in front of the gate to welcome the guests.

Everyone who came would praise Tang Hua, which made Tang Jing and his two sons feel proud. They felt that after years of being frustrated, they could finally hold their heads high at this moment.

In the restaurant, Yan Shuangyu, who originally came from a humble background and was always inferior to others, was now as proud as a peacock among a group of officials' wives.

"You ladies may not know that my daughter Hua'er has been very smart since she was young."

"He learned to read at the age of two, studied literature at the age of three, and could compose poetry and paint at the age of seven."

"At that time, he was a well-known prodigy in the surrounding area. Even the old teacher praised him for his great future!"

"Sure enough, my son is the top scorer in high school!"

"..."

Yan Shuangyu brought Lin Zhu and showed off among a group of women.

Even those shameful past events have now become glory in her mouth.

A group of women also echoed and praised her for her good education. She made an indelible contribution to the current achievements of Tang Dynasty paintings.

Yan Shuangyu couldn't stop laughing. If only Tang Yi was here at this moment, he could teach that loser that it didn't matter if her mother came from a scholarly family.

He, Tang Yi, is a waste who will never be as good as my son Tang Hua!

At the same time, Tang Yi had already arrived outside Tianxiang Tower.
